Hi, my name is Averi Carter and I am currently a freshman at Foothill. I enjoy playing volleyball and hanging out with friends in my freetime. I am the oldest of three siblings and I am in the graduating class of 2021. It would be cool to make it into the bioscience academy or journalism, and when I grow up I would like to be a screenwriter or work in the film industry. Personally I feel that If I want to do something it gets done as soon as possible, but with school work It’s a whole other story and I would like to work on not procrastinating.
My goals for freshman year and beyond consist of mainly academics, family, and sports. Some of my academic goals are that I
Averi's Goals For Freshman Year
would like to join journalism next year. I would also like to do honors and AP class and hopefully graduate with some college credit. Another academic goal is to graduate with a 4.0 gpa. Hopefully even get an academic scholarship. My goals in English are i would like to get better at creative writing and get better at using punctuation the right way. By the end of high school I hope to be remotely fluent in Spanish, and kind of have an idea of what i would like to major in, in college.
These next years I would like to spend more time with my family. One of my goals for family is I would like to go on lots more trips and vacations and do more activities together. I have a lot of extended family in Georgia and in California, and I would like to spend time with them more as well. I would really love to keep in touch with my cousins in Pennsylvania, because I feel that I am so much closer to the ones who live in Ventura, I know it’s because of distance but I still really want to be close. The last one of my family goals is I would like to spend more time with my brothers and bond more before I go off to college in 4 years.
I would like to make many more friends these next few years and beyond. My goal is to have multiple groups of friends, friends that I know from sports or friends from middle or even elementary school. Many of my friends from elementary school go here now that I haven't seen in a long time. I would like to do more things with my friends going to other high schools like going to their football games and dances. It was hard leaving most of my friends to come here, but I think it is a good reason to make more.
I feel that most of my goals are in the sports category. Volleyball is the main sport that I play I used to play soccer and basketball but I’ve just stuck with volleyball. So this year i made JV and my goal for next year is to make varsity. A long term goal in volleyball is that I would like to get a volleyball scholarship to a university. I have a few goals that have to do with fitness like running, I normally go on a run once or twice a week. Along with fitness, comes health, and for my health I have been cutting out soda and for a snack I have been choosing an apple over popcorn.
Hopefully in these next high school years and beyond I will be able to achieve all or at least most of these goals. The most important thing for me is I would like to do my best no matter what. I realize that my goal standards are most of the time are set really high, but I think it is okay because I feel that is is better to aim high that lower. In conclusion I am trying to do my best to get good grades, spend time with family, and get better at my sport. Thank you.
